#NowWatching I love this film. And it wouldn’t be the only time we see spirals like that over DW opening credits.

@markoconnell.bsky.social I just finished the new Bond non-fiction book from Mark O’Connell in a grand cafe in Florence (though 90% completed on the Elizabeth Line). I recommend it for providing (to me, at least) a coherent additional lens through which to understand the world of 007.
See, the thing is, when you describe it like that, the film sounds a bit silly.
Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares, T-shirts and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk
Just bought this LP, and of course initially assumed that the Bach in question was Barbara.
Excited to read this - Mark’s earlier Bond book, Catching Bullets, was outstanding.

October 1965, and the Beatles are recording Drive My Car, Day Tripper, We Can Work It Out, In My Life and Norwegian Wood - to name but five. I mean, that’s a successful month’s work.
Watching and absolutely LOVING Quantum Of Solace, this weekend. My highlight is the DC-3 sequence, but also the Aston, Tosca, Siena, Mathis, and some excellent lines of dialogue. I don’t know how it might have been without the writer’s strike, but there’s much to love already.
This week’s BBC Mastermind had a contestant answering questions about the Brosnan 007 films. I only got seven questions correct. #BadBondFan I need to do some serious rewatching.
Am I really late to the party noticing This is Spinal Tap’s rating goes to 11 on IMDB?

BOND: “You could run a small government from here.” LARGO: “No, I could run a large government from here.” Never Say Never Again definitely has its strong moments.
As a big Rocky II fan and regular listener to the podcast, this made for a wonderful listen. Love that they share my affection for the Redemption theme on the soundtrack. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

There are many different reasons to buy vinyl, some more explicable than others, but it’s Valentine’s Day and nostalgia’s not what it used to be, so #NowPlaying
Found a Spectre Omega watch face for my fitness tracker. That’s one unexpected way to get the watch you’d like.
Back in 2022 had it from *very* reliable sources that Anthology was the next big project on the cards for The Beatles. I suspect in 2025 it’s finally going to happen…
